Same as it ever was. Railways, water, energy, education, security, postal service, healthcare, new innovations (see graphene) it doesn't matter what it is, they sell it off. They don't even fucking own it. Look up the colloquialism 'daylight robbery', for an example of Tory nastiness.

If you fear to show your principles while running for the highest office you shouldn't be running for the highest office. Either you stand by your convictions and allow voters to decide or you're lying and ergo you elect liars

Renationalise the Bank of England. Take it away from the filthy bankers that use it to enrich themselves by controlling base rates, inflation and hold governments hostage.

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people

Sometimes I long for the simplicity of the porn name online info scam - you know the one, put your first pet and mother's maiden name together - instead of the Israeli Pegasus malware that literally spies on heads of state and knows what colour pants you have on and is uninstallable.

The poor people that never had a hope of owning a first home are actually very delighted the middle and upper class are facing a bit of hardship too. This would in effect be classed as a benefit. And actually complaining about it like you've been hard done by is exposing your privilege.

An excellent example of British entitlement and hypocrisy.

Second home owners in a second country can literally fuck all the way off into the sea. I've absolutely zero sympathy and hope they're forced to sell so a local can afford a home.

First on every political manifesto should be: no second homes until everyone has one.

Pubs, and eating sherbet like eyeball Paul? Tax on cigarettes generates more than double the cost of smokers to the NHS in tax. So what's going on?

I think we're at the end of neoliberalism and because they can't enact meaningful policy on wealth they fuck with social issues no one asked for. End.

Jeremy Clarkson has written a piece postulating that sugar tax, smoking bans and heath initiative from the government are explicitly to relieve pressure on the NHS. So instead of those we should just end the NHS.

I would argue that does he think if we ended the NHS he could go back to smoking in

They think we're a self replicating infinite resource to be exploited. That's why we get the low birth rate shite, they don't care we might be struggling to justify having children, they're worried the infinite self replicating resource is stalling Too thick to realise life needs joy to have meaning

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 7h

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 7h

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Churchill was a fascist, the fact he worked for the crown doesn't change that. In fact if the Nazis hadn't encroached on the empire and declared world dominion he was quite happy with Hitler. We had a returning army but no NHS or housing or social security and he just didn't care. Pig of a man.

And if you read the line above it's quote from Saint Churchill. You'd think he'd be more grateful considering the red army was the only reason the Nazis didn't get to melt his lard arse into whisky scented candles.

Question from Amit Segal, one of the ugliest men in journalism:
Was the order given to use 'Hannibal Directive'?

I think tactically in some places it was,

Continued response from a genuine international fugitive for crimes against humanity:
…in other places it was not, and that is a problem.

Totally true apart from the bit about a hundred and fifty year old cult being the same as a 2000+ year religion. Whatever next? The KKK represents all Christians? Wahhabism is Intrinsic to Islam? Zionism is a sect using religion to justify the most disgusting crimes against humanity.
